Resonance: Awakening of the Unknown
Twenty years ago, nine heroes across the world fought the Monarch of Oblivion, a Godlike being who sought to erase humanity. Among them were Korea’s Han Seojin and Lee Mirae, one of the strongest of their generation.
The Monarch fell, but his final words promised doom: “When the Monarch of Calamity returns, he will awaken the others.
When peace blinds you… they will remind you of fear.”
To the world, the heroes claimed victory and founded the World Hero School Competition, a global system said to train future defenders. In truth, it was a hidden plan created to find those capable of resisting the Monarchs when they ever rise again.
Years later, their second child Han Jiwoo lives a quiet life in Seoul — unaware of his parents’ past or the secret buried within him. During his Awakening, his mana fractures the test crystal, revealing an impossible result: Dual-Class — Combat and Unknown.
Unknown… the same signature as the Monarch of Oblivion's core but known to no one other than his parents and headmaster.
Sent to Eclipse Academy, a once-glorious school now fallen from prestige, Jiwoo becomes the center of attention — admired, doubted, and watched. But when a fateful duel pushes him to the brink, his second power awakens, and within his consciousness, a forgotten voice speaks once more.
Bound to the Monarch who once threatened humanity, Jiwoo must master the power that defies gods while forging his own path between light and void.

Chapter: The Dungeon's True HeartChoi Kangmin arrived at the deepest route without fanfare.The first thing he saw was that the surroundings were very ruined.The stone corridor was torn apart, walls cracked open as if something massive had forced its way through. The air was heavy with unstable mana, thick enough that even breathing felt wrong.Then he saw the body.The Vice Guild Master lay collapsed near the center of the ruined passage, armor shattered, staff snapped in half beside him. His chest rose weakly, each breath shallow.Kangmin knelt immediately.“Check him,” he ordered, his voice calm but sharp.A healer rushed forward, hands glowing as she placed them over the Vice Guild Master’s chest. The seconds stretched painfully long.“He’s alive,” she said at last. “Unconscious. Severe mana depletion and internal damage.”A quiet exhale left Kangmin’s lips.Alive was enough.Then the dungeon reacted.The mana around them twisted violently, spiraling toward the darkness ahead. The ground trembled, small stones b

Chapter: Dungeon Break (3)The dungeon screamed, not with a sound, but under the weight of the monster's mana.A wave of black fog burst from the corridor ahead, flooding the main hall as runes ignited along the walls. The temperature dropped instantly, frost crawling across the stone floor.“Formation!” Choi Kangmin ordered.The fog thickened.Clack.Clack.Clack.From the far corridor, skeletal figures emerged—humanoid frames wrapped in decayed armor, eye sockets burning with pale blue flames.Bones clattered.One by one, figures rose from the ground.Skeletal knights clad in corroded armor pulled themselves free, eye sockets burning with pale blue flames. Behind them, warped beasts stitched together from bone and shadow let out guttural howls.“Summons,” a hunter muttered. “A lot of them.”The lich emerged last.Floating above the ground, staff raised, its hollow gaze fixed on the intruders.Jiwoo’s heartbeat thundered.So this is a real dungeon break…“Hunters!” Choi barked. “Suppress the summons. Do not en

Chapter: Dungeon Break(2)The alarm echoed through the cavern like a wounded beast.A sharp, pulsing sound that didn’t belong in stone halls or ancient ruins.Veilbound hunters froze mid-step.“What was that?” someone muttered.Another hunter raised his mana scanner, frowning as the screen flickered. “Structural readings just spiked—then dropped.”A third scoffed. “Probably a minor collapse. Old dungeon, unstable layout.”But no debris fell.No dust stirred.The dungeon remained perfectly still.Too still.At the front, Guild Master Choi Kangmin slowly raised a hand.“Quiet.”His voice cut through the murmurs immediately.“All patrol units, report,” he ordered. “Status and location.”A moment passed.“Unit Three reporting. No hostiles. Corridor’s clear.”“Unit Five here. Same situation. Nothing unusual.”Choi nodded slightly, but his eyes didn’t soften.“Unit Two?” he called.No response.Choi’s gaze sharpened. “Unit Two, respond.”Static answered him.A faint crackle—then silence.A hunter beside him frowned.

Chapter: Dungeon BreakThe sensation of passing through the gate was brief—but heavy.Jiwoo felt pressure pressed against his chest, like the air itself resisted him. His vision blurred for a split second, then—They were inside.Stone stretched in all directions, forming a wide cavern hall. Cracked pillars stood unevenly along the sides, and dim mana crystals embedded in the walls cast a faint blue glow.Silence followed.No roar.No monsters.No sudden attack.For a few seconds, no one moved.Then—“…That’s it?”One of the Veilbound hunters laughed.Another scanned the area with a mana device and scoffed. “Nothing’s here. Mana levels are low. Structure is stable.”A few chuckles spread.“Seriously? We all panicked for nothing?”“Dungeons disappeared years ago. Now every guild is losing their minds over an empty cave?”Someone stretched lazily. “Man, I thought after we all entered it was gonna be a massacre. Thankfully it’s empty.”Jiwoo stood among the porters, silent.His eyes swept the area.Too quiet.

Chapter: Acting as a PorterMorning at the academy didn’t feel any different—until Instructor Baek walked into the training hall with his hands in his pockets and that look on his face.The noisy chatter slowly died down.Baek stopped in front of the class and glanced around once.“Alright,” he said casually. “Listen up.”Jiwoo straightened slightly.Baek continued, “The inter-academy tournament will be held in three months.”The room stirred immediately.Three months.Whispers spread.“That soon?” “Isn’t that early?” “Wait, three months?”Baek raised a hand. “Relax. That’s plenty of time.”He leaned back against the platform. “Which is why starting today, I’m giving you all freedom.”That got everyone’s attention.“For the next three months,” Baek said, “you’ll be responsible for your own growth. No forced drills. No daily formations. Train how you want. Where you want.”Some students looked excited.Others looked nervous.Baek’s grin widened. “If you want to lock yourself in a room and meditate—go ahead. If yo

Chapter: Korea's Top GuildsSeoul Astra Guild Headquarters. Seoul's top 1 guild.Inside, the atmosphere was… relaxed.Too relaxed for a place that housed one of the top guilds in the country.A man leaned back in the main chair, feet casually propped on the table, spinning a pen between his fingers.“Let me guess,” he said lazily. “Another false alarm?”Around him sat several high-ranking members, each with their own tablet open.“No,” one replied. “This one’s real.”The man stopped spinning the pen.“Oh?”Spatial distortion readings. Mana density spikes. Formation pattern—abnormal.The man whistled.“Well, damn.”Someone frowned. “That’s your reaction?”He shrugged. “What, you want me to scream?”“This is a gate,” another member said seriously. “After twenty years.”He leaned forward slightly, resting his chin on his hand.“That’s what makes it interesting.”This was Lee Taeyun.Guild Master of Astra.S-Rank awakend.Combat Type: Dual Blade Fighter.The Laughing Reaper of KoreaGuild Master of Astra.Ranked amo
